SPIFI library and different S25FL129P modules

Hello,
I am working on a Hitex LPC4350-A4 board, and I am creating a file system on the SPI Flash (Spansion S25FL129P), using the SPIFI library.

Basically, my problem is that the S25FL129P comes in different configurations, with 64KB or 256KB sectors. I am still trying to work out from the datasheet if I can change the configuration manually, but the main problem is that, while the default sector size on my platform is 256KB, our partners have another eval board with 64KB sectors (and I don't know yet what our customer has got...).

So, what I am asking is whether the SPIFI library allows us to change the configuration, or, as a bare minimum, to read the current sector size.

Thanks,

Emiliano

The S25FL129P is "not recommended for new designs". What the heck are you doing?

The devices with 256K and 64K sector size differ in the Extended Device Identification (Table 9.2) in the Data sheet.
Don't know if you can read it with the SPIFI library.
